then try sys internals ps shutdown. in that u can give the user name u wanna log into, and give the remote system's admin password to perform a shutdown. but when the system is protected by a firewall, it fails to work.

yea there is a firewall up. but ive also tried shutting down the remote computer with admin privleges as well as running cmd as the admin. also i tried enabling messenger if that might help plus adding my name under the users rights list that is allowed remote shutdown... im kinda stumped.
